As soon as you become aware that the police (or some other INVESTIGATING AGENCY) are looking for or investigating you, or if you believe that you may have committed a crime. A lawyer can intervene with the police and either PREVENT an arrest or, if you are GOING to be arrested, arrange for your surrender at a time and in a manner that minimizes embarrassment to you or your family. Hiring a lawyer may also protect you from being questioned by the police.

First, be POLITE and cooperative. Arguing, struggling or fighting will never make the situation better. Rarely, if ever, will a person be able to convince an officer to stop an arrest. Finally, call a lawyer as soon as possible.
